Chemistry World December 23, 2013 Polly Wilson	Biocomputer decides when to administer drugs Biocomputer-based logic systems that process biomolecular signals could revolutionize drug administration.
Chemistry World December 12, 2013 Andrew Turley	Serving the Reich: the struggle for the soul of physics under Hitler Did we need another book about this. Absolutely -- now more than ever. And this one by Philip Ball, I think, is a good one.
Chemistry World December 11, 2013 Jennifer Newton	'Google map' of a prostate UK researchers have used vibrational spectroscopy to chemically image the cross section of a prostate to such an incredible level of detail that each of the 66 million pixels in the image represents a piece of tissue only 5.5 A -- 5.5 m.
Chemistry World December 11, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Vibrations couple light to graphene Two independent groups have shown that light can be effectively turned into surface plasmons in graphene if the carbon sheet is made to vibrate.
Chemistry World December 10, 2013 Erin Withans	Dice world Brian Clegg discusses all aspects of the notion of 'chance': from everyday uses of statistics, such as weather forecasting and stock markets, to a final philosophical note on pre-determination and God in his book, Dice World.
Chemistry World December 9, 2013 Jessica Cocker	Hydrogen breaks strong bonds with brute force A method developed by Leo Lau of Western University in Canada and colleagues can break C -- H bonds without damaging the rest of the molecule.
Chemistry World December 9, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Micromotors clean polluted water Researchers in Germany have invented micromotors that can propel themselves through water while degrading organic pollutants.
Chemistry World December 3, 2013 Emily James	Lithium -- sulfur batteries ready to go the distance A non-stop trip from London to Paris in an eco-friendly car could soon be possible, if powered by the latest lithium -- sulfur battery created by scientists in the US.
Chemistry World December 2, 2013 Stephen McCarthy	Scorched hair makes supercapacitors greener Researchers in China have used human hair to make a vital component of energy-storage devices. The discovery could lead to more efficient and environmentally-friendly replacements for traditional batteries.
Chemistry World December 2, 2013 Andrea Sella	The Braggs' spectrometer There are few where the stories of father and son have been as tightly intertwined as the Braggs, whose collaborative, and sometimes tense, partnership, almost single-handedly created x-ray crystallography.
